Yeah that part was a little confusing, I've changed it, shoved isn't the expression I should have used... What I was trying to say is that there are many issues nowadays that my generation needs to fix, meat consumption is one of them, it's been increasing more and more and, from what the experts say, it increases global warming by quite a lot.
nuclear energy is way too dangerous and risky to become our main source of energy...
There are more than 300 nuclear plants world-wide, China is increasing the number of nuclear power plants and so is the US, the dangerous part is lack of maintenance in the power plants, fukoshima happened largely due to bad construction and lack of maintenance. I don't consider them that dangerous if they are properly used. I wouldn't rely on nuclear only ofc, but I do think we need a central energy production facility so we get a steady reliable energy production. Also, Uranium will soon be used in nuclear reactors for space exploration, which make it a great buy for that too...
There are 2 issues with solar power atm:
The first one is storing the energy, solar power isn't a stable source of energy so that energy needs to be stored, to store it countries have been using hydroplants, but it's kind of hard and not many countries have the hydroplants needed to do that, my country actually does and if connected with Europe it would store a lot of the energy but it seems France doesn't want to put high end electric cables to connect Spain and Portugal with the rest of Europe (at least this is what I've heard but don't quote me on this).
The second issue with solar power is that limit I mentioned, it's a limit that needs to be surpassed if we want to actually rely on solar power, there have been a few studies done with new materials that show that that limit is very near to be surpassed, but so far no Proof of concept has come forward, which can mean that it is still far away. What that limit does is that only 30% of the solar energy is actually captured by the solar panels, this decreases the potential for solar power quite a lot...
I think nuclear power gets a really bad rep when it's actually not that wasteful and not that polluting if used correctly. But hey, I'm not an energy engineer, I would have to do lots of research, read lots of studies and talk with some big guys in the nuclear vs renewable energy field to actually develop a good strong opinion that I could defend.
